We caught up with Kingston and asked him about his recruitment:
Why did you choose BYU?
BYU is a great academic school and I love the atmosphere at the BYU games. The fans show up whether the team is home or away. I love the coaching staff and how they interact with the players and have their best interests in mind. I am excited to play in Coach Roderick’s offense and think it is a great fit for the different things I am able to do on the field as a receiver, runner and even throwing. I am also looking forward to potentially play in the Big 12.
Greatest accomplishments?
Earning the opportunity to play college football. That has been a goal of mine since I was like 8 years old. I also love being able to play with and compete against so many great players and friends from other teams.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
My parents and coaches have always just encouraged me to just put in the work and if you do the work you will be successful.
Who is a current player that you seek to emulate on the field?
I really like what Dax Milne was able to do at BYU the last few years and can see myself doing some of the same things.
